Re: error in OnLine initialization(can't create 'sysmaster'

I solved this problem by changing my DBSERVERNAME to my INFORMIXSERVERNAME. I don't know if it is necessary that these two PARAMETERS have same values?and if we can have different names for our DBSERVERNAME and INFORMIXSERVERNAME and if yes what changes should be done? thanks --babak > From bayati@tmcso.com Mon Aug 2 19:40:07 1999 > Date: Mon, 2 Aug 1999 18:04:03 +0430 > From: bayati@tmcso.com (Babak Bayati) > To: informix-list@iiug.org > Subject: error in OnLine initialization(can't create 'sysmaster' > X-MDaemon-Deliver-To: bayati@tmcso.com > X-Return-Path: owner-informix-list@iiug.org > > Hi, > plattform: > Solaris2.5,IDS7.23UC1 > After initializing OnLine,this is what is written in "online.log": > > 17:32:42 Event alarms enabled.
